The awards take place annually to recognise and celebrate the achievements of the UK's finest young entrepreneurs with a top prize of £10,000 overall.

The 2006 regional finals took place at the exclusive Dunstan Hall Hotel near Norwich on May the 18th and were attended by the finest young entrepreneurs in South and East of England. Managing Director Daniel Smith attended the awards on behalf of Tours4 ltd, he said:

"It's great to get some recognition for the hard work and dedication that our staff have shown as there are alot of late nights and early mornings that help to ensure that all of our tours run smoothly. The Shell-Livewire awards are a great chance to show off our achievements and our future plans for Tours 4 as well as meeting a great mix of like-minded entrepreneurs. The new developments at Tours 4 ltd including Ice Cricket, Student Paintball and our new group travel divisions including Tours 4 Schools and Tours 4 Stags will ensure that Tours 4 stays ahead of the field in the sports tours and group travel industries and we look forward to continued success."

"Congratulations to Cyclepods and Zen Creative who walked away with cheques for £3000 each as worthy winners but the competition was incredibly tough from all of the other businesses including: Hannah Marshall, Melanie Burnell, East Kent Cartons, PodPlus, The Student Pocket Guide, Birthgay and Gurusoundz."
